At least 1/3rd of Cancers can be Prevented with these 10 Suggestions
Does it always feel terrible to hear about cancer? People who look healthy have been diagnosed with cancer?
Some people say that cancer is like
God planting seeds, whoever is planted on. But in the view of the World Health
Organization, at least one-third of cancers are actually preventable.
Is the main cause of cancer:
- Unreasonable diet
- Less and less physical activity
In primitive society, human beings are not rich in materials, and usually there is a pause without a pause.
What is the role of thrifty gene in cancer?
In order to adapt to such an environment, the body is equipped with a "thrift gene", which means eating a lot of things at once, the body will tend to store it so that when there is no food, the stored energy can be used.
With the progress of society, this
"thrifty gene" encounters unregulated mouths and inaccessible legs,
so the more you eat, the fatter you eat, and you eat diseases.
There is also a genetic level
reason. In the past 10,000 years, our dietary structure has changed a lot, but
our genes have hardly changed or changed very little.
The frequency of spontaneous
mutations in the human genome is 0.5% per million years. In this way, human
genes have only changed about 0.005% in the past 10,000 years.
As a result, the dietary structure is changing, but our genetic genes have not changed. From a genetic point of view, our genes cannot adapt to a high-fat, high-sugar, high-oil, 12-point full meal, and we don’t like exercise.
Excess energy is consumed, and such "internal and external troubles" will inevitably lead to chronic diseases such as cancer, as well as other diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity.
The World Health Organization and
the World Cancer Research Foundation point out that most cancers are
preventable. Healthy eating, active participation in sports activities, and
maintaining a healthy weight will greatly reduce the risk of cancer.
As early as 2007, the World Cancer Research Foundation and the American Cancer Institute jointly published a report on "Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity and Cancer Prevention".
On the basis of this report, an
expert group composed of 21 world-renowned experts put forward 10
recommendations for reducing cancer risk.
These 10 recommendations are not
only meaningful for cancer prevention, but also important for other chronic
diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and diabetes.
Obesity also affects hormone
levels, so always remember to "maintain a healthy weight" may be one
of the most important ways to prevent cancer.
What is the normal weight range to prevent cancer?
Divide your weight by the square
of your height to get a BMI (Body Mass Index) value. For example, if you are
50kg and 1.6m tall, then BMI is 19.5 (kg/m2).
Asians 18 years and older have a
normal BMI between 18.5 and 23, overweight between 23 and 27.4, and overweight
at 27.5 and over.
Another indicator is to look at
waist circumference, male ≤90cm, female ≤85cm, which is the normal range. It’s
best to look at the BMI and waist circumference at the same time, which is more
convincing~
No matter what kind of physical
activity, as long as you are willing to move, you can prevent certain cancers
and weight gain.
No need to nag, you must know what
they are: fried chicken, sugary drinks, chocolate, potato chips, cake desserts
are all famous.
Those who take starchy roots or
tubers as their staple food, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc., must
ensure that they consume enough non-starchy vegetables, fruits, and beans.
Did you know that most diets with
anti-cancer effects are actually mainly composed of plant-derived foods?
Consuming more plant-based foods may have a preventive effect on various parts
of cancer.
Non-starchy vegetables and fruits
may not only prevent certain cancers, but also prevent weight gain due to low
energy density.
Most processed meat products contain a lot of salt or are smoked, which will increase the risk of cancer.
For healthy people, taking dietary
supplements to prevent cancer is a costly and thankless thing.
Therefore, it is best for mothers
to completely breastfeed their babies for 6 months, after which other liquids
and foods can be added.
In addition to dietary
intervention, we must also pay attention to avoiding cancer-related infections,
occupations, environmental carcinogenic factors, etc., and pay attention to
maintaining psychological balance and mental happiness.
